Austin Butler, Baz Luhrmann add a little more 'conversation' to making of Oscar nominated 'Elvis'
"Elvis" struts into Oscar Sunday with eight nominations, including a best actor nod for the film's star Austin Butler.

"So, you know, why ask an audience to come out of their home to go into a theatre, you know, and park the car, get the--unless we give them our absolute all?" "Baz, as a collaborator, brings out the best in you," said Martin. "He encourages you to be bold. He encourages you to fail but that's not negative. That's just to go as far as your ability and your legs can carry you, you try. And if you fail, you fail. But what happens on the way is you develop as an artist."
